Days Hotel Belfast

... while I am away on a study abroad. For those who haven't heard the rough itenerary, it goes a little something like this: 20 days touring Ireland and Scotland in a coach bus, 14(ish) days hiking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela (say that three times ...

... mean. I've got the last pictures to upload and then that's the end of this travelogue. I'd have to say that I thought 4 days in Belfast was a little too much. Considering we had spent 2 days there previous to going back. We did alot of walking. ...

... that was built specifically to pump the water out of the huge hole. After the black cab tour we checked into the hotel.  The Days Hotel.  New.  Reasonable priced.  Awful design.  The front of the hotel was in a strange place ...

We flew into Belfast on our little Easy Jet plane and took a bus ride to our hotel. Our hotel was in a great location (right off the main drag). We arrived quite early on Sunday morning and nothing was open but we entertained our self by taking in the ...

... we're doing today, past getting breakfast (free again *G*), possibly going and paying for twenty-four hours of internet, and finding Belfast Central station so we can buy our train tickets to Dublin. I suspect we'll be finding the Belfast equivalent of ...

... a seaside community with ferry service to Scotland. Then south to Carrickfergus, where we pass the huge Norman Castle overlooking Belfast Lough.             We arrive (behind schedule again) in ...

... at the break. A 45 minute break stretched out to 3 hours with the wind and rain making it unbearably cold. Everywhere I went in Belfast I made sure I had a raincoat. I swear i packed it that day. Turns out i didn't. I never bothered to go to a doctor to ...

... nbsp;   The Crown Saloon with its Victorian architecture and private booths is situated opposite the Europa Hotel.   In South Belfast (a mile from the city centre) are Queens University and the nearby Botanic Gardens.  The ...

... anything it was a little unerving. We hung out at the hotel that afternoon and good ole' KFC for dinner. Our perceptions of Belfast have been a little tainted by the rain. As it tured out we were all a little frustrated with Belfast so we all decided ...

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I've finally been somewhere new! I went up to Belfast for two days on the start of my holiday and it was really interesting. I stayed in a small hostel that was really nice, and the first day I went on a black taxi ...

... we got caught out in torrential downpours on a couple of occasions. In the morning of the second day, we visited Belfast Castle, a renovated castle standing in expansive parkland. Big dissapointment. It lacked all of the character of the other castles I ...

We left Ballymena after a hearty Irish breakfast and made our way on the well designed Irish road system, to Northern Ireland's capital Belfast. Having been in country Ireland for a while the one way streets of the city were confusing and, along with the ...

... the bay. Very cool. Fell asleep on the bus on the way back to the city *G* Picked up some snacky food and came back to the hotel. Once I've mostly packed, I'm going to log on for a bit, post this, check emails and so on, and then go to bed. Because omg, ...

... is well used. We got talking to a guy who stays there a couple of nights a week while he’s studying law at Belfast University. Thursday 11th November 2010 –  Belfast (Fine, sunny, wet later) Today we drove towards Bangor to the Ulster ...

... and the murals represented different view points. The war and turmoil became much more real traveling through these western parts of Belfast. Strangely enough, it brought me to times such as the second world war. Not that I was around during those times, ...

... that I was so excited that I sprinted off the plane only to run back on because I completely forgot my carry on. Ha WOW. Belfast International is a pretty small airport and it was there that we met our driver, Jerry. Jerry picked us up in a Mercedes Benz ...

... about the shops and so on. Eventually I wound my way to The Crown - the oldest and arguably most beautiful pub in Belfast - for a pint of Guinness. I claimed a snug all to myself, feeling a little guilty about depriving couples and larger groups ...

... . This “tour” became much more extensive then many of us had planned as we swear Peter had us walking everywhere over Belfast looking at various bars, some being nothing historic at all. We finally ended our “tour” just in time to ...

... perhaps, we got back on the bus and headed back to Corrymeela where we grabbed the remainder of our stuff and then headed back to Belfast, our home away from home. We got home around 7pm and I decided I was just going to lay low and take in everything I ...

... it back home safely only to blog for fam and friends :) Overall, good day! I love you all and I strangely enough cannot wait to be back to share more! Love, Bri Ps- May be going to Scotland for a few days next weekend... May Bungee Jump. Stay ...

... the place to be seen in Belfast and it was. All in all another great night out! In the morning a quick 2 hour 'taxi tour' around Belfast learning (and scarying the shit out of both of us) the history of Belfast and the IRA etc - then onto a plane to ...
